Jared Leto has celebrated turning 50 – yes, 50 – with a classic topless selfie as he tucked into some birthday cake. 

The Oscar winner took to Instagram to mark his milestone birthday as he gave the camera a sultry stare and a thumbs up, with his oiled-up abs on display as he held a slice of rainbow cake. 

He told his followers: ‘Thx for all the bday wishes!’, as they soon flooded his comments with birthday messages. 

They commented: ‘50 years ???? 50 years!!!!!!’ and ‘Once again happy 35 birthday, dreamer … and can u post a new one like this.’

Others added: ‘OMG, you are really 50 years old?’ and ‘HOW IS THIS 50??’

The photo Jared posted appeared to be from the set of his upcoming Marvel vampire film Morbius as fans spotted he had blood on his mouth and scratches on his chest. 

The movie follows a doctor who unwittingly infects himself with vampirism as he desperately tries to cure himself of a fatal blood disease.

Dr Morbius attempts the dangerous gamble to help not only himself but others going through the same condition but the effects are not what he expects.

He previously joked that he was a vampire himself – that would explain why the man literally never ages – as he compared a photo of himself in 2008 and 2016 in which he looked identical. 

Jared joked at the time: ‘Amazing what a little human blood will do.’

He also paid tribute to his mother Constance by sharing a photo of her pregnant with him 50 years ago, writing: ‘Me and my mother in Louisiana.

‘Born at 2:36 PM Central Time 1971. She made the dress herself. From old draperies.’
